Each topic summarizes the key actions, completion checks, and first recovery step.

Topics

Work through only the parts your task requires.

  1. 02

    Build a schematic from scratch

    Create a named schematic, place and edit symbols, wire a small circuit, add labels, save, reopen, and inspect the result.

    Key actions

    Create the schematic file; Place the first symbol; Set symbol properties; Place the remaining circuit.

    Complete when

    Functional schematic name Expected component count

  2. 03

    Use AI on a bounded design task

    Give Resin a testable circuit brief, observe its tool work, then verify every generated design fact in the EDA editors.

    Key actions

    Define a testable brief; Record the baseline; Send the complete prompt; Observe tool execution.

    Complete when

    Bounded prompt preserved Approved data only

When something does not match

Stop at the layer that actually failed.

Preserve the original state, correct the source or configuration, and repeat the affected check. Do not use a clean-looking screen as a substitute for the expected engineering result.
Navigate the schematic editor

A shortcut types into a field instead of acting on the canvas
Try: Move focus out of the text field, click a neutral canvas area, and check Keyboard Shortcuts again before retrying.

Build a schematic from scratch

New schematic is unavailable
Try: Confirm the project is editable and selected. Do not attempt the task in a viewer role or on the Projects index.

Use AI on a bounded design task

Chat is unavailable or Send message is disabled
Try: Confirm an editable project is selected, the prompt is non-empty, and no response is still streaming. Do not move the task to a production project as a workaround.
